Took me long enough, but I finally found a driver to end the great driver search of the past few years! Classic in shape, color, and general appearance, the 905T saves it's wow-factor strictly for performance alone. Mine is shafted from the factory with a stiff Fujikura Tour Platform 27.3. I absolutely LOVE the feel and the kick from this shaft. Overall, this driver is super-solid, accurate and long as all heck. Best clubhead and shaft combo that I've ever found. Amoung the millions of other drivers that I'd tested was the 983K. Very impressive driver and I was almost sold on it. But the stock NV shaft, although initially very impressive, grew a bit erratic for me. In my opinion, and perhaps contrary to many others', I think the 905T is a huge leap forward in performance and technology. I have over 30 rounds under my belt with this driver and it's very firmly in the bag for the '06 season. If you knew me, you'd be shocked by that statement. :-)

Go ahead, try to name one that I haven't tried? ;-)

I have never been a big fan of Titleist equipment in past years, I have always found the drivers (and their irons)to be so so at best - so never could justify the high price tag when they performed poorly for me. I was looking for a easy to hit and good looking FORGED iron to replace my recently purchased TM LT2s. After hitting the Titleist 735 CMs I couldnt believe how beautiful they felt and looked - so I fell in love. Based on this startling revelation that Titleist were now making top grade golf eqwuipment in line with their top line pricing - I thought I would try their 905T driver. Admittedly the first couple of 905Ts that I tried didnt go so well (VERY ordinary as a matter of fact) so I thought that I wouldnt be adding any more Titleist clubs to my bag. That was until I tried the 905T in the Fuji Speeder stock (stiff) shaft. WWWOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW! What a difference the CORRECT shaft makes! The club feel superb - had a good trajectory and a strong hot ball flight. I had always thought that the longest diver that I had tried was the COBRA 454 COMP - which flew 20 - 25 yards longer than anything I had hit. YES THATS RIGHT 20 - 25 yards. Well this Titleist 905T (in the Fuji Speeder Shaft) matched that driver yard for yard and yet only had a 400cc head! An absolutely amazing driver. It is one of those clubs (when you eventually find one) that you cant wait to go out and hit - because you enjoy it that much! Well done Titleist!!! I cant wait for the 905R to come out - if the 905T is a sign of how good your golf products are now!!!

I previously owned the R540XD with the Regular stock shaft. I really the liked the lite weight of the club and the soft whippy feeling of the regular shaft. I felt like I can really load it. The shots usually are draws and they launch low-mid. I benchmarked this club along with many other drivers over hte past few months, non really surpassing the performance other than the 905T. Both on the range and on the launch monitors, i have seen the 905T out perform the TM. Even using various shafts, i've been able to consistently outdrive the TM by 8-10 yards. The flights i get on the TM were usually medium height and penetrating with a draw. That certianly helps with a soft tip and slightly closed face. The 905T, even being 1 deg lower in loft, launches the ball nice and high but still maintains a low-spin penetrating flight. I could never do that with the TM. I used to get mauled by holes that require a hi-fade but i dont have that problem anymore with this club. I can really see the gear effect take place too.

After playing with the Cleveland Launcher 460 for 2 years with great success, I really wasn't looking for a new driver. I played with a Titleist 975D for the longest time and then switched over to the 460. I really liked the forgiveness of the 460. I really didn't notice a huge difference in distance, though. One day, I was playing in a foursome that was playing with a Titleist 983K. This guy was smoking past my best drives with the 460. Finally, I asked if I could try his 983 on the 18th hole. I hit it and it went really far. But not only far, but the sound was so nice. Not that loud pang noise like the new titaniums, but a pure sound to the hit. I was impressed with it and looked for a 983K on ebay. I never won, so I started looking at the 905T. Got one for 175 USD. What a bargain! Tried it and man, what a difference. Long drives, penetrating, and had some decent roll with it. One thing I didn't like about the 460 is the ballooning effect. The 905T is not like that at all. I reached some places on the golf courses that I didn't think I ever could. Also, the sound at impact is so sweet! Love this club!

Haven't used it yet, but when I had a problem with my old 975D, they replaced it for free.

Cleveland Launcher 460 Titleist 983K

I Have owned both the Cleveland Comp 9.5 with the Pro Launch shaft and the R7. I bought the R7 because my shots with the Cleveland Comp often balloned. I thought the ability to change shot trajectory would help my distance I lost 25 yards. I recently went back to the Titleist and I am not sorry. I loved my 983 E, 9.5 although it was not very consistent. I thought going to the Cleveland Comp would help consistency. It did but I got no roll. People should understand that if you have a good swing those clubs that promise lower CG often result in too high ball flight and no roll. The 905T titleist with the YS-6+ shaft (stiff) is about the best of all worlds. It is almost as forgiving as the Cleveland and more than the R7. The distance with the Titleist 905T though is far greater than both. I hit the ball about 260 consistently with the Cleveland and about 250 with the R7(some of my drives with the Cleveland went as far as 280 and maybe 265 with the R7 with Pro V1's). When I moved to the the Titleist 905T with the ys-6+ shaft (stiff) I am getting 285+ yards with range balls (with Pro V1's my distance is about 295). Quite an improvement without any loss of accuracy. The ys-6+ shaft is mid flex and performs very similiar to the Graffolly Blue shaft. Not too high and not too low. Long distance and good directional accuracy. I could work the ball either way which is far better that the R7. Give this club some thought if you are looking for something that fills the gap between a players club and a game improvement club. Just so you know recently I won both the long drive contest and the most accurate drve with this club. My drive was 305 yrds and it was three yards off center. While this club is only 400cc, size does not always matter.

I loved the 983k and then switched to the ping g2. This club was very long but I could lose one to the right too often. Went to a demo days and tried just about everything. The 905t was the ticket for me. I bought one and have not looked back. Distance, accuracy, workability, looks, sound are great. I have been playing it all summer and I have not been disappointed. I will say this is for the better ball striker. I other comment is to get fitted.

Just about all of the new drivers.

Used a 975D for many years, never liked big clubheads, but after watching pros and everyone else decided I had to look seriously at bigger clubhead. Tried the 905T, 905S, and Cobra 454 and about 2 months ago at a Titleist demo day and bought a 905T with YS6 shaft (stiff). This has been a great driver from the get-go. Drives have been more consistent, with good length. I am 55, my clubhead speed is around 95, with moderate (not fast) tempo and drives are typically 240-265, sometimes longer. I play with some strong players and am rarely outdriven consistently - a lot of people ask to try it for a hole or two after we play a few. Sound and setup took some getting used to compared to 975D, but I really like this club. Confidence on the tee is a wonderful thing.

I absolutely love this club. I made the switch from my 983K and glad I did. Same great sound and feel, but more forgiveness when needed. Shaft is very good. I can really feel it load/unload. The accuracy and ability to work this driver is what sets it apart from the other 400+cc drivers out there right now. It's sneaky long too. I had a few times that I was looking for my ball short of where it ended up by about 20 yards.

Ping G2,

I have been hitting this driver most of the summer along with a Cleveland 400. Both have the Aldila NV stiff shaft. Both are excellent drivers. I have to give the nod to the Titleist although not by much. The Titleist has an outstanding feel and sound. I do hit the ball long and am a consistent 20 yards longer with this club. Hit the Cleveland an honest 250 - 260 and the Titleist 270 plus. I other thing is the consistency I hit more fairways or first cuts with this than any other driver. I think the driver has nice appearance at address and just begs to be hit. I like the "smaller" head size as compared to 460 cc heads. Just looks better to me.

Customer Service

Always been decent to deal with.
